Default Best coilover setup to get???

Hey guys, i plan on tearing down my suspension that i have now ( ground control coilovers w/kyb agx's). Im looking to do something fresh like a Tein setup or something similiar as long as its a real full coilover setup. Does anybody have any suggestions as to whats the best to get? The car is a 97 Hatch and it is a street car. Thank you!!

Tein SS. You may also want to consider changing the spring rates on your GCs and getting a set of Koni Sports (yellows). These shocks can be rebuilt and revalved to match your springs.

If it's just a street car, there's no real need to get some high dollar 2 way/height adjustable coilover like a Tein RE, JIC FLT A2, Buddy Club, etc.

You always have the TEIN Flex that has independent stroke adjustment. I woudl not spend $1000+ and not consider the JIC FLTA2 or the like for the money. TEIN Flex and JIC are both only a few hundered more.

Ground Control rate change is another option but I don't think they will ever ride as well as a full coilover setup. They will handle as well though.
